Walking the track at night with alot of trees listening to this 😊

I sat and listened to the whole thing. It might not seem like that big of a deal, but for me right now, anything longer than 4 minutes is testing my ability to pay attention, but I made it a whole 42 minutes without skipping around the video. It's really a big deal for me, and I'm proud of myself even if no one else is.

I pray to the Toad King nightly, that we will never stop getting Tales Under The Oak music. Hands down my favorite project in 2022. All hail the Toad King!

Frogs live in Water, Toads live on land. This makes my little froggy heart happy. Truly splendid. A small town in Texas where I visited and it was where Conrad HIlton built his very first Hotel, well they was demolishing a old building and inside a Piece of Rock they found a Toad, and it revitalized and woke up, it actually lived for abt. an month. It was in Ripley'S Believer It Or Not."

thank you youtube algorithm

The addition of narration, in between the soundscape, was unexpected.. but oh man did it just add to it. This project better live forever. It’s important, this vision is important.

great music experience! thanks from Ukraine

Drunk as hell, ended up here. Happy Solstice!

Each release from them is better than the last… which is really saying something as they’ve been excellent since the beginning!! I really enjoyed this, the storytelling portions in between the tracks was a really nice touch. Perfect for listening to on a winter’s night whilst tucked up all cosy in bed! 🐸

Wonderfully done. I shall use this in my DnD game when the players are in the Feywild

Hello from Oregon. Listening to this with my window open and it's pouring rain outside and the sound is beautiful..... And my cat approves.

Damn this reminds me of all the life trips I've been on. This is what is playing in my head 🫠

This makes my little froggy heart happy. Truly splendid.

❤❤❤

latest installment is amazing. the addition of the narrative is so awesome.

This is incredible. Reminds me of my childhood in the 80s. There is a rare special magic in this music that somehow sounds like it was made in a magical forest.

Real cool, under stool Hoppy swim in green gold film A frog song awake

Old Rip eventually ended up back in the Eastland County Courthouse. The city placed its most famous citizen on permanent display -- the type of posthumous honor formerly bestowed only on saints. He had a brush with Texas politics in 1962 when John Connally, campaigning for governor, hoisted Old Rip by the left hind leg -- and it snapped off. The mangling of Eastland's favorite son was hushed up, and Connally made headlines by himself the following year when he was wounded in the Presidential motorcade in Dallas during JFK's assassination. Eastland, Texas Some Texans believe that horned toads -- tiny, wart-covered lizards -- can survive 100 years in hibernation. One Texan, Ernest Wood, county clerk of the city of Eastland, decided to test the theory. On July 31, 1897, he took his son Will's pet horned toad, named Blinky, and had it sealed in the cornerstone of Eastland's under-construction courthouse. Will got another horned toad, and Ernest didn't expect to live long enough to see Blinky again. Eastland, however, grew fast. A newer, bigger courthouse had to be built -- and the old one torn down -- after only 30 years. Everyone had forgotten about the horned toad except for Ernest, who told the local newspaper about it. The newspaper spread the word, and a crowd estimated at several thousand showed up when the old cornerstone was opened on February 18, 1928. Officials hovering over the cornerstone included the county judge and at least three local clergymen, to ensure that no one would try to sneak in a bogus toad. Blinky was pulled out. He was dusty, gray, flat as a pancake, his horns worn down from friction, his mouth sealed shut from inactivity -- but alive! The crowd cheered. Blinky was quickly renamed Old Rip -- for Rip Van Winkle -- and became an instant celebrity. Will Wood, now a middle-aged man, went on tour with Old Rip. Fans mobbed him. Professors x-rayed him. Rival exhibitors sued to get him. President Calvin Coolidge broke several previous White House engagements to meet him. Old Rip was written up in the New York Times and the prestigious journal Science. Newsreels staged reenactments of the cornerstone ceremony. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram declared Rip to be "the most famous animal since the serpent in the Garden of Eden." A print run of 16,000 Old Rip postcards sold out. Rip himself paid little attention to the surrounding whirlwind of publicity, living happily in a sand-filled goldfish bowl, fattening himself on cockroaches and harvester ants. Soon after Old Rip's visit to the nation's capital, skeptics in Dothan, Alabama (future home of the Hog Monument), sealed a hapless horned toad in a box and buried it for six months. The toad did not live. Dothan said this proved that Old Rip was a fraud. Eastland countered that Old Rip had been entombed above ground, where air and heat could seep in and keep him alive, and Will Wood credited Rip's survival to the Bible that had been placed in the Eastland cornerstone. Souvenir Ticket - Old Rip Derby 1950. Horned Toad Derby was held in the years before Texas horned toads became a protected species. Critics of Old Rip were dismissed as simply jealous of Texas. One Eastland businessmen defiantly offered $1,000 to anyone who could find a Texas horned toad in February -- as fraudsters would have had to do -- even though in wintertime all of the lizards are buried underground, hibernating and hidden. No one ever claimed the money. Sadly, the strain of fame did what 30 years of solitary confinement could not; it killed Old Rip. Only 11 months after his release from the cornerstone, the aged Texan croaked. Will Wood had Old Rip embalmed and placed in a tiny velvet-lined casket. Even dead, he drew crowds on tour. Eastland began hosting annual events in Old Rip's honor: Old Rip Day, the Horned Toad Derby, Rip's Ribs Cook-Off, and a city-wide party named Rip Fest. Local dignitaries and schoolchildren recited The Old Rip Oath, vowing to "perpetuate the Truth of Old Rip; so help me, God." Warner Bros. directors Chuck Jones and Tex Avery, who grew up in Texas, immortalized Old Rip as the cartoon character Michigan J. Frog, a ragtime-singing reptile that had been freed, like Rip, from a cornerstone.

Down right incredible, instant fan.

Why isn't this on CD or Vinyl? Incredible music.

So happy a new one came out!

This is great music for gaming, reading, working etc. Thanks for the hard work!

Not been long with you, but your toad songs are awesome.

Super 🎶🌍🎶

No macdonal No ipad Only sitting on leaf with cool stick

Yesss these are so wonderful, thank you!!!

I love this so much, thanks for sharing!

I love these 🤘🏼 🐸 🪄

Well, this is just awesome.

Great stuff, makes me wanna jump. 🐸

I would love someone gave me jewelry made out mushrooms so I can wear it and be able to eat it as well.

9:03 What a pity!

I don't know who you are. I love you.

I am deeply saddened to read the last paragraph of the video sub text.. nevertheless, this album is really nice, also amazing channel name!

it's a good album. I would only remove the parts where there is a narrator.

I really love this, its so soothing and helps me concentrate. Until this talk comes in. Its really annoying. I dont know what setting this is created for, but when doing DnD and also when working or having this just in the background when doing chores, the talking is just a nuisiance. I dont know why someone gets the idea to start talking in the middle of a good music album... Really annoying, but the music is gold.

Ninja turtles meet the Toad folk

Folkmetalrapzilla don't steal wigga

Kek confirmed?

I'm hoping you eventually do post some neo-Nazi and white supremacy music. Free speech above all!

spotify?
